I created a small image of Debian Buster/Sid PPC64 today. I recommend to use it if you have any problems with Adrian's ISOs. Please increase the partition with GParted after you copied the image to an empty partition. I had to decrease the partition a little bit and after that I was able to increase the partition.

After that you could install the MATE desktop with apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras

Then you could install a display manager for example "lightdm" with apt-get install lightdm

Afterwards reboot your AmigaOne

I noticed I already had downloaded the image and even copied it to a partition, but forgot totally to test it !

Booting and log-in worked ok, but when I tried to run 'dhclient' in Bash prompt I got an error message 'command not found'. Where is that program located, should I first change the default directrory...?

***Whoops, noticed that I had logged in login as 'amigaone', not as 'root'! No wonder the dhclient was not accessible.

'Apt-get update' gave a few error messages, but did not fail totally. But 'Apt-get install xorg' failed, complaining about unmet dependencies!Do you have to install xserver-xorg first, or some other pacakage?

Firefox ESR install normally with complete installation including the desktop.There may be some unmet dependencies because you installed the desktop after.Firefox is buggy here for me and quits all the time.Qupzilla is also available and same kind of buggy too.no working videoplayer .

Either some libraries or both the libraries and the applications may need to be built with a specific compiler option to work on the X5000 properly.Thing work better with the ppc32 version at the moment.

Is there any web browser available for it? Firefox was not installable due to unmet dependencies, and Midori was not at all available via apt-get...

I just installed the " task-xfce-desktop", and Firefox ESR was included in this. Is the Firefox available via apt a different one?

When using the 'root' account, Mate desktop is always black... Is there fix for this? I think my Debian PPC32 has the same issue. Xfce does not have this problem, but I cannot choose it for 'root' unless I login first to the ordinary user account with Xfce.

Same here...:-/

Thats a pity... In Fedora 26 PPC64 the videplayer itself seems to work, but finding the right decoders for it is a problem.
